Why Trying to Balance Motherhood and a Styling Business Keeps You Stuck

Do you ever feel like you're constantly failing someone—your business, your kid, yourself?

If you're a personal stylist trying to grow a business and raise a family, you're not doing it wrong. You're just working off a blueprint that was never designed for the life you're actually trying to build.

In this Mother’s Day episode of The Six Figure Personal Stylist Podcast, I’m talking about the real tension between motherhood and entrepreneurship. Not the version you see on Instagram, but the one where you’re dragged between two full-time identities that were never meant to coexist. I’ll share what finally helped me stop shame-spiraling, rewrite my own rules, and build a business that doesn’t ask me to shrink to make everyone else comfortable.

3:27 – Why constantly feeling stretched thin isn’t your fault (and what’s actually to blame)

9:02 – The hidden cost of trying to live up to “good mom” and “successful CEO” standards

13:08 – The identity breakthrough that finally stopped the self-doubt spiral

16:26 – What happens when you build your business around your values—not other people’s comfort

20:38 – Why consciously choosing your roles changes everything (especially your results)

22:48 – The truth I wish someone had told me before the mental gymnastics and burnout

25:20 – The foundational shift every stylist-mom needs before adjusting the logistics

If you're an established personal stylist, tired of the income rollercoaster, and know your business is capable of more, I know exactly what it feels like to be there. I was there for years until I built the systems that moved me from burnout to consistent high-ticket income. And that's why I created Income Accelerator.
